For me it’s Emily, I absolutely adored the name as a child. I was born in the early 80s before Emily was popular so it sounded rare back then and had a cute old timey vibe, i named one of my dolls Emily and even as a teen I was sure I wanted to name my future daughter Emily.
Now I’m so glad I didn’t… it’s still a gorgeous name me but it’s obscene popularity in the 90s/00s ruined the timeless feel of the name for me personally. It feels very of an era to me now which is crazy because it felt sooo unique to me as a child. I ended up giving my kids classic names similar to Emily but not as ubiquitous.
Has anyone else got names that they loved but then they got too popular and it ruined the name for them?
